Eating two days post op

[girlrfriday 71]

Hello friends, I am two day out and having discomfort when I eat! I would imagine that's normal I just wonder how long that lasts?

When you say eat are you eating solid food? I was on Clear Liquids for a week and then full liquids for another week after surgery. Some doctors have different plans but I think the majority of sleeve patients follow a similar plan.

Are you trying to eat solid foods? I was on liquids for weeks. No way could I have eaten any food 2 days post op. I could barely get in water!!

I'm on full liquids! But even Water causes a hiccup type reaction that is rather uncomfortable

That would happen to me and I would just take smaller sips. I could only tolerate maybe 15mls (1/2oz) every 20-30 minutes

When you EAT or drink?

I would take small sips but make sure you track and keep an appropriate amount of fluids in you. If the discomfort is to much to handle don't hesitate to call your doctor remember your the reason there in business they are there to help.

Yes I had pressure sometimes and I think it was the carbon dioxide they put inside me trying to reabsorb. Walking around helped move it out.

I had my surgery on 4/22. I found this b/c I was searching to see if people have similar issues. At the hospital they wanted me to drink so I did but each time felt weird an awkward. Sorta like My my chest and abdomen were a pinball machine and the Water I put in there was getting knocked all over the place.

My Nurse suggested that I drunk something warm and that did help. I've heating up chocolate Protein Drinks and sipping them like hot coco.

Dr said I could eat anything I could get through a straw. So right now I'm eating pudding. My issue is I can't tell I'm full. I can't actually tell I'm hungry either....

Any one know how to tell when your full?

When I'm full it gets uncomfortable to drink another sip. I try not to get to that point, though. I feel like I'm always watching the clock to make sure I don't overdrink. My stomach has rumbled a few times but my brain hasnt told me I'm hungry. When I hear my stomach growl I usually grab a Protein Drink.< /p>

I'm on day three. The first day I would get that reaction with even the tiniest sip of Water. It would send a gurgle down my whole stomach, sometimes causing a sharp cramp for a few seconds.

I'm home today and onto full fluids. I've had some Protein drink, Tomato Soup, and a Popsicle. All is going down okay as long as I take my time.

I tried yogurt but that didn't fly. Guess it's too thick for me still. Day by day! But what you're feeling sounds perfectly normal to me.

[nessieberry 19]

Day 3 is even easier. My body is still a pin ball machine, but it doesn't hurt as much so that is good.

Try standing up when u eat it helps the liquids go straight down b/c when I sat down and ate its like the liquids are trying to find its way thru a maze, and it gave me indingestion!
